"Ladies and gentleman, in a few moments we're going to hear the clock strike twelve bringing in 1906 . . ."

Enjoy this fun homemade wax cylinder recording from New Year's eve 1905.
Rarely does a wax cylinder recording get to have its date and time pinned down precisely: So, let's relive this audio time capsule from December 31st, 1905 at about two minutes to midnight.

Herr Dr. Professor (on the "schnoz-o-phone") probably forgot to move the phonograph's recording horn close enough to the clock to hear the chimes, but we get the idea . . .
